Destination Weddings in Lucca

Celebrate your wedding in Lucca, one of Italy’s most picture perfect Tuscan towns. Ideally positioned in the center-north portion of Tuscany, Lucca’s history dates back to Etruscan and Roman times. The city is encompassed by a magestic set of walls wide enough for a romantic sunset stroll enjoying the magnificent views of the surrounding countryside. Its cobbled streets are a pleasure to explore on foot as you discover native products in its artisan botteghe.

Lucca is the birthplace of Puccini, writer of Italy’s most romantic opera’s such as La Boheme and Madame Butterfly; visiting Puccini’s house is on the top to do list of any visit to this city.

Lucca is small enough to be visited in one day yet rich enough in monuments, restaurants and surrounding activities to warrant staying for at least a week. Just outside the city are many wonderful villas with gardens or parks that are a pleasure to explore; some of which are available for extraordinary wedding receptions.

Every third Sunday of the month an important antiques market is held in the Piazzas Antelminelli and San Giusto and on the last Sunday and proceeding Saturday of the month an arts and crafts market is held in the same spot.

The Wedding Hall of Lucca is one of the most impressive in the region of Tuscany. A magnificent stairway leads to an ornate gilded hall with silk lined walls, original antiques and a view over the private garden available for photos after. There are various choices on rooms depending on the size of your wedding party.

If you are looking for the perfect Catholic wedding location, Lucca offers one of the highest concentrations of medieval and renaissance Catholic churches for its size, many of which are carved from the beautiful white marble originating from the region. The offering ranges from small chapels to important cathedrals; something for every size wedding.
